Another day another mess

Well today started as any Sunday, we got up and went to church, the sermon was really nice, and the kids LOVE going to Church. Then we came home and I spent ALL day cleaning the house. It was horrible. I don't know how we make such a mess. Well I say we, but it isn't really me, I just am the maid and end up cleaning it up. Anyway, we cooked a nice dinner tonight on the grill, then it was off to bed for the kids 8pm like every night and finally at 10:20pm I didn't hear them anymore. 2 hours and 20 minutes. Man is this getting old.
On a good note we have a renter for our house in Ohio, what a relief. We aren't getting what I would like out of it, but it will help. I am also going to look at a house tomorrow for rent. We just feel like right now even if we could buy this house we wouldn't be saving money, and we have dug ourselves in so deep this past year that we need to save some money. I hope that we get this house. I haven't seen the inside yet, but it is still in our school district, and is a newer home with 4 beds 2 baths. She said she is doing an Open house at 6 tomorrow, I wish I could just go look and say I will take it without anyone else. So I will pray that it all works out for us. Say a prayer for us that we will find a home that is nice, if not this one than another that we can afford that is still in our school district.
Today G is 11months old. WOW he is growing up so fast. I cant believe he will be 1 in a month. Poor little guy he is still wearing 3-6 month clothes, he is just so tiny. H has her 6 year check up tomorrow, and I am going to have G weighed while we are there, I also think he may have an ear infection so I will have him check his ears. Also he has a knot at the bottom of his spine that is concerning me so I will ask about that as well. H of course doesn't want to go to the Dr. I had to explain to her that she was only going for a check up not shots and she seemed OK with that.
As I said before I spent the day cleaning, in between boo boos and G screaming at me(it comical really) But I didn't touch the playroom or their bedroom and you just cant imagine how big of a mess they are. Mind you that I just cleaned all of that up before my mom came and it was totally clean, and here is how it looks now.


Can you believe how that looks? Sorry for the quality I took them with my phone. Anyway I have decided when we move. I am going to buy totes and pack up half the toys, and then we will rotate them out, that way they wont have as much to make a mess with.
As I sit here and complain I am reminded of a video we watched at church today. It was about a man named Clay, he was born without legs, or one arm and the other arm is only a partial, like to your elbow with no hand. This guy is a bass pro fisher, he fishes with the pole under is chin, and baits his line and removes the fish with his mouth. It would be so easy for this man to say I give up, but he doesn't. He is a special man, that has never let this get him down. I am truly blessed to have my kids who are healthy and happy. Sometimes we forget that and take it for granted, and I never want to do that. I want to stop and smell the flowers and appreciate the little things in life. I am going to try to do better at that. We all should we should appreciate what we have, or don't have. No matter what we are blessed, and God will never give us more than we can handle even if it seems that way sometime. Well that is all for tonight. thanks for checking on us. Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come..................
